The world says the secrets to beauty are in diet pills, tanning booths, breast augmentations, wrinkle creams, and liposuction.

What is “Christian love” though?
You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say. -Martin Luther “Love” has become sort of a “pet-virtue” of American Christian society. “Christians are supposed to love” has become a term used to bully Christians who actually stand up for Christ into shutting their mouths in the…

I don’t know if I can make it through this situation. I don’t know if I can do everything I have to do. I don’t know if I can measure up to everyone’s standards. I don’t know if I can be everything God wants me to be. Life is hard. The Christian life is especially…
